Paul Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks for the offer Paul. The problem was that I wasn't using smarthost, and Yahoo (and Hotmail) block on dial-up (and DSL) IP's. I got smarthost working thanks to info on the list and google, now that's working fine. Iam using Exim4. I have a little more work to do with Fetchmail and localhost. It was broken, then I added 127.0.0.1/32 to my allowed networks - it worked for a little bit, but is still erroring out.
